Zeljko Joksimovic-Serbia's own Mr Eurovision will return in Baku 2012-



-it's Belgrade- calling already!

Many will remember Zeljko from Serbia- as just about a perfect host on stage at Eurovision Song Contest 2008-
Yet Zeljko's entry in Istanbul in 2004 was equally his best achivement as he sung and wrote the 2nd placed
tune "Lane Moje" (see video-clip)
This track has become a firm all-time favourite song from the contest- at the time he managed to take on competion of Lena Philipsson & Greece's Sakis Rouvas to put Serbia & Montenegro one step away from Eurovision glory. So it's not
too surprising Serbia have picked Zeljko to sing for Serbia in Baku 2012 next year for a 2nd time as an artist.
However Zeljko has returned before in Eurovision 2006 as a songwriter of Hari Mata Hari's "Lejla" this gave Bosina & Herzegovina a third place at Eurovision
in Athens. He also wrote another success for Serbia at ESC 2008 the song 'Oro' was an amazing hit sung by Jelena Tomsasevic on her home-soil in Belgrade- Jelena finished 6th that year.

Early next year RTS Serbia Tv will present a new Eurovision entry also to be penned by Zeljko Joksimovic as well.
I am certain this may well be an early favourite to win Eurovision next year-

it's so good to have some Eurovis' Royalty returning in Baku-
